This account of P. Wallkhii is based on the cxamii ition of 93 specimens. 

 It must be noted that although Wallich named this species /*. wtplenjfrlk, lie quotes 



neither Floerke, who first applied this name to a species of J'nliculari*, nor Willdenow 

 by whom Floerke's species was first described, as the authority for the MM ; and it 

 appears probable that Wallich applied the name to this plant (which it suits much 

 better than it does the species that bears it), not from any idea that it was on*]*** 



with Floerke's species, to which it is not remarkably clowny relate), but 1 

 had either for the moment overlooked the fact that the name was pn occupied or 

 because he considered with Bentham (vide Scroph. Ind. U, footnote) I that Floerke-, plant 

 was properly reduced to P. rostrata, and that therefore he was at liberty to apply the 

 name Floerke had used to designate a different .penes. But whether this was U,ll,ch. 

 intention or no, Bunge is clearly right in according specific rank to Wallich s plant.
